"The State", observes some upside down logic: "We have courts that protect criminals and condemn law officials; public officials who advocate violence instead of order; artists who win prizes for ugliness instead of beauty; moralists who condemn ethics and exalt license; n,,n..-ioro ihn nroah aiaint a Divinitv and uatnots' who aid our enemies. About all we need now is to try to cure people of sobriety, jail citizens for saving money, and paying their taxes, and award degrees for ignorance." LOCAL CHURCHES st. patrick'S and ST.

Please ask only one question per sheet. Then watch this column for the answer. QUESTION: Our store accepted some merchandise on consignment from a California firm for a limited time. The control over the merchandise actually never left the consignor. The goods were sent to our store and sold under the supervision of an employee of the consig nor. What was not sold had to be sent back at the end of a specified period. Is this trans ient merchandise that should be assessed to me? ANSWER: No. The merchandise is transient but it should be assessed to the California corporation. This is based on the intent of the statute as defined by a Klamath County Circuit Court where it stated: "The clear purpose of ORS 311.460 (Collection of tax on transient merchandise) ap pears to be to equalize the tax burden between the transient peddler and the regularly established merchant."

He grew tired of ceaseless hunting for tood; De built homes and villages Wild plants and animals were domesticated. Some men became farmers so that others might heroine Industrialists. Artists, or Doctors And this was called Society Men and Society progressed With his God given ingenuity, man learned lo feed, clothe, protect, and transport himself more efficiently so he might enjoy Lite. lie built cars, houses and nylon. And life was more enjoyable. The Farmers became efficient. A single farmer jjrew food for 41 Industrialists, Artists, and others. To protect his crops and animals, the Farmer produced substances to reH'l or destroy Insects, Diseases, and W'eed These were called Pesticides. Similar Substances were made by Doctors to protect humans. These were called Medicine. The age of Science had arrived and w ith it came better diet and longer, happier lives. Certain well-led members of Society disapproved of the Farmer using Science. They Spoke harshly of his techniques for feeding, protecting and preserving plants and animals. Thev deplored his upsetting Ihe Balance of Nature; They longed for the Good Old Days. And this had emotional appeal. Bv this time. Farmers had become so efficient, Society gave them a new title: Unimportant Minority. Because Societv could not ever imagine a shortage of food Laws were passed abolishing Pesticides, Fertilizers, and Food Preservatives. Insects, Diseases, and Weeds flourished. Crops and animals died Food lecame scarce. To survive, Industrialists. Artists and Doctors were forced to grow their own food. They were not very efficient. People and governments fought wars to gain more agricultural land. Millions of people were exterminated. The remaining few lived like animals. Feeding themselves on creatures and plants around them. And this was called IN BALANCE WITH NATURE. CITY 01? This advertisement Run as a Public Service by: .olisEiibia Hasan Electric Fish at llwaco 1 ihjIs Buschke, Jim 1'i'tty- f ilm.
